Music videos are not indexing

[TZTZoro 26]

I am downloading music videos with AMVD  and it works like a charm but emby is having trouble indexing the files. i have already switched to imvdb as metadata but i am still getting 0 items

the folder structure is as follow:

Artist -> Song name -> .metadata.nfo, .musicvideomp4, cover.jpg (the files are named after the song title)

An metadata.nfo file:

<musicvideo>
	<title>Someone Like You</title>
	<userrating>4.8679724</userrating>
	<track>11</track>
	<album>21</album>
	<plot></plot>
    <genre>Blue-Eyed Soul</genre>
    <genre>Blues</genre>
    <genre>Hip Hop</genre>
    <genre>Jazz</genre>
    <genre>Neo Soul</genre>
    <genre>Pop</genre>
    <genre>Pop Rock</genre>
    <genre>Pop Soul</genre>
    <genre>Soft Rock</genre>
    <genre>Soul</genre>
    <genre>Soul Jazz</genre>
    <director>Jake Nava</director>
	<premiered></premiered>
	<year>2011</year>
	<studio></studio>
	<artist>Adele</artist>
	<thumb>Someone Like You.jpg</thumb>
</musicvideo>

Where did i mess up?

Hello TZTZoro,

Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you.

It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread:

Hi, I would suggest taking a look at the following knowledge base article for proper music naming and structure.
https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159113-music-naming

Picard is a great tool that can be used for tagging as well as building this file structure for you.

Thank you for your response @cayars

but unfortunately i am still unable to get it to work.

I have downloaded musicbrainz picard. i have ran it and it tagged the videos a bit differently and created a different folder structure as well as a different file name now the folder structure is as follow: videos->Artist->album->(number)song.mp4

can you perhaps explain it a little more extensively and possibly with examples?

thanks in advance

youve been provided with the wrong advice here. you need to be using https://imvdb.com/  as your reference point for music videos. videos need to precisely match an entry on imvdb otherwise you will get nothing. unfortunatley you'll also get lots of bad matches if it doesnt match exactly

[Carlo 4561]

How so?  That article covers BOTH music and music videos.

[TZTZoro 26]

so @Spaceboy if i have it set like:
it should be working with the downloads from amvd? or do they need to be reformatted?

May i ask how are you managing your music videos if you have those? if yes, how do you manage and download your music videos?

What folders did you add to your music library?

What library is that?

[Carlo 4561]

@TZTZoro What library type is this?

[TZTZoro 26]

I have both the library type Music called music and the library type music videos called music videos

The library Music has the following folders added:
F:\data\media\music\video (mp4 files with metadata)
F:\data\media\music\audio (audio files with metadata)

The library music videos has the following folder:
F:\data\media\music\video (mp4 files with metadata)

Both use imvdb for music video metadata and both have a cover image generated so i think that it grabs metadata but music videos does not show any videos and if i go to a song i dont see a music video

Hi, you can't add this folder to two different libraries with two different content types. That is the reason for your issue.
